The object that caused the 1908 Tunguska event is estimated to be either 40 or 60 meters in diameter[1], and it still managed to do an incredible amount of damage[2]. The object described here has a diameter of 400 meters. My understanding is that this wouldn't be anywhere near as devastating as the impact associated with the K-T extinction event, but it certainly wouldn't be very good for anyone.
